It is powered by Jekyll on GitHub Pages.

It's super easy.

The easiest way is to write a post in Markdown and email it to us at [email protected].

The more self-lead way is to follow these few steps:

• Fork the repo on Github

• Clone that repo on to your computer

  git clone [email protected]:YOUR-USER-NAME/blog.jruby.org.git

• Create a file in /_posts

• Name that file using the format of YYYY-MM-DD-Your-Post-Slug.md

• At top top of that file include a bit of meta data in YAML.

Like this:

---
layout: post
title: Why I Love JRuby
subtitle: And Why You Will Too
canonical: http://example.com/2011/09/01/jruby-love
author: Shane Becker
email: [email protected]
---

• REQUIRED FIELDS: layout, title (if it's different from your file name slug), email, name

• OPTIONAL FIELDS: subtitle, canonical (this is the URL of the article on your site if you're reposting an article of yours)

• Write your awesome post!

• Add and commit that file in your local repo git commit -a "New Blog Post"

• Push to Github git push origin gh-pages

• Send a pull request to us

• That's it!

After your first contribution, you'll get added to the blog.jruby.org repo as a committer at which point you won't have to do the fork / pull request nonsense.

Or... if you're totally awesome and have the site to prove it, send me an email with a link to your previous writing on the subject and I'll just add you as a contributor.

Let's do this thing!
